Use case

I filed #195 requesting for the newer Android async geocoder API to be supported in API > 33. Thanks for adding that!

However, I noticed that since release 2.0.6 of flutter-geocoding, compileSdkVersion has actually been set to 33 on Android.

As I'm sure you know, there's no going back from API 33 at this point, because all new app store releases (and even app store updates) of Android apps have to at a minimum be built for API 33:

This means that guarded sections like the following are not needed, and all older Android code (before TIRIMASU) can be removed:

Dear @lukehutch,

I think this is not true. Even though the compileSdkVersion is e.g. > 33, the software can still run on a < 33 SDK device.

Kind regards,

Got it, thanks for clarifying.
